What's For Finger Foods?

Okay ladies, I need your help. I've been a little slow on the finger foods front. LO is doing better with chewing now (9.5 months) so I really need to start giving her more finger foods and letting her try things out.

So far I've only given her Nutrios (like cheerios), Mum Mums and Farley Biscuits. So if you could tell me what you're giving and how you're giving them (size & shape) I'd really appreciate it.

He had 6 teeth by the time he was 9 months old. We did baby led solids from the every beginning. I never cooked, or peeled or mashed ANYTHING. EVER. So I knew he could chew without his molars right away. I wasn't worried about beans. He mashed them up with his gums. I mean he had teeth but he used them to bite stuff off. Not chew it up. Because it was he front four and his top canines.
Although I did feed him Steam Broccoli as a food when we went out to restaurants.
I forgot Avacado.

We are doing BLS too, much to the surprise of my family... people freak out when I give her whole foods. At the end of the night my dad told B: "You are wearing a broccoli necklace". It was lined in her fat folds.
